The emergence of domestication in human history and its implications

In Module 3 of Rewilding Mythology, Sophie Strand and Peter Michael Bauer converse about immediate-return and delayed-return societies, emphasising the impact of food storage methods on social dynamics and ecological transformations.

What was gained and lost, in this case as we developed the ability to store food for ourselves?
